Got banned for arguing against the idea that queer people are bourgeois decadence. Are they just Nazbols or are they some other brand of fucking insane larper?
Counterpoint 2: r/thedeprogram is controlled by hexbear comrades
Its also controlled by a Lemmygrad comrade I'm pretty sure, so it has several based people, it is the final based bastion
Yes
The only proletarian relationships are QPRs and cuddle buddies
All the good lefties got banned from reddit in 2020, only the dregs remain
A lot of drama on that sub over the years. They stopped being relevant when chapo became popular along with the tankie subs(moretankiechapo and the genz), before then it was ok, some good learning resources here and there.
They were always too ban happy, no discussion or anything. The worst possible echo chamber. debatecommunism was supposed to fill that role but it certainly doesn't help to see the same bad faith questions again and again.
Worst of all though they are afraid of the admins. IIRC even when chapo radicalized with the slave owner take r/communism didn't support them. They don't post crabs when people die like other leftist subs either.
certainly doesn’t help to see the same bad faith questions again and again.
That's a big problem, that I, personally don't see a way around. Even a hundred years ago it was very difficult to figure out whether someone was arguing in bad faith, curious, or maybe just plain wrong but opinionated about it. The internet (and :reddit-logo:) make it even more difficult. So any kind of nonagreement is treated as bad faith arguing from the get-go and you get rid from anyone wasting everyone's time. Of course you throw the baby out with the bathwater, but that's what you get when people take modding online communities way too seriously.
better in your name than in your- [a shaking red dot appears on my head]
Just morons tbh. I got banned for suggesting that a limited form of entrepeneurship would likely still exist under an NEP-style socialist economic model
I mean that's just factually correct? They're probably doing that thing where they take a declarative statement as an unacceptable normative one.
I honestly have no idea what their thought process was. The ban message said "Entrepeneurship? On the communist sub?" and even me explaining back that it would and could exist within a socialist framework as it did in the early USSR and does now in China did not make them budge one inch. No loss, it wasn't a particularly engaging sub anyway.
was it them or r/SOCIALISM that had the struggle session over anime catgirls
That sub is a shitshow in general, I got banned for praising Greek Anarchist antifa lmao
Got banned from r/communism for posting on Chomsky subreddit. What the fuck?
Most people here probably agree that Chomsky isn't very good, but you don't get banned for liking him.
Alright so I don't see the real answer here.
/r/communism has always been run by people who were too ban happy but it is also run by Gonzalo supporting maoists so you should view it with sus-goggles on. It was previously sorta mixed ideology but a serious of internal battles occurred and MLs ended up booted by the maoists.
Honestly right now on reddit there's a significant lack of good communist spaces since genzedong and genzhou were terminated. I know zedong is still technically there but it's been algorithmically strangled and you can see that in the activity decline.
New subs are needed. /r/dongistan seems quite good for memes but there's not a good educational space now. /r/socialism101 is alright but it's also somewhat lib, it's not on the same level genzhou was at.
I got muted for saying that there were communists and labor resources in the DSA that someone shouldn't entirely write off if they didn't have anything better. It doesn't matter that much though, the sub has been dead for years anyways.
